Mindshift 18/18

He laughed quietly and was pleased by the soft look that crossed her face.

“We hooked you up in the Animus. Eventually, your mind collapsed from strain and you fell into a coma after finding the Apple. You stabbed me, remember?”

“No,” came the immediate response, and he frowned, still pressed against her. “Perhaps that’s why I feel guilty?”

“When we were both ‘better,’ you woke up and got sent on a mission. You disappeared, and the Templars got the Apple. After you returned, we were here, and were dropped by the Apple in front of Templar company. You went ballistic. You were foaming at the mouth and seizing, and then, the pieces of Eden disappeared, and you... transformed.”

"Really?"

"Yes. You destroyed all of the Templar army here as some sort of beast. We don't have footage because you destroyed everything except the castle. You had wings and the biggest fangs. When you moved, it was like watching a ball of light. There one second, and in a different place the next. Your eyes were like pits. I’ve never seen anything so terrifying. Desmond, you ate Alan Rikkin."

"He must have been damn tasty. What happened after I destroyed the Templars?"

"You collapsed, and the pieces of Eden disappeared. You've been out for several months, now, as we rebuilt the land.”

He hummed. “I remember Masyaf from the past. I beat Altair.”

She laughed: it was beautiful. “Don’t tell Shaun that.”

“Shaun? He’s the man with the glasses, right?”

She looked surprised. “How do you remember him, but not me?”

“Because your beauty and magnificence is so overwhelming that when I see you, I forget—”

He laughed when she slapped his chest lightly. “Stop it.”

“Do you not want me?”

“I—we’re working!”

“So? We’ll be working until we die.”

She shut up, studying him closely.

“I have the feeling I have something to show Shaun. I remember thinking about him a lot when I was here last time.”

He kissed her again, trying to get her to respond, and when she did, he took the kiss a step further and rubbed his thumb against her hip. She pushed him away, swallowing thickly. “D-Desmond!”

“You don’t want my affections?”

“Not here. Desmond, I have four others with me.”

He glances up to see four people in white coats, looking slightly embarrassed as they waited on her. He smirked and looked back down at Lucy. “So?”

He nuzzled against her neck again, running a hand up her side. “Let me make you mine. Let the others know that you’re mine, just like everyone will know the eagle has returned to his land.”

She scoffed. “I don’t think so. You sound like Altair or Ezio.”

He smiled against her neck. “I would never be them. Malik told me not… to…”

He pulled back and looked down the undershirt. He panicked when he couldn’t find the doll, patting himself down. Lucy sat up, looking frazzled.

“Desmond?”

“My doll!” Desmond said, looking at her. “Malik—Kadar gave it to me after I dug his grave! Shit, where is it? It looks just like Malik, but as an assassin!”

He was on his feet, searching the ground. Lucy placed a hand on his shoulder. “It’s in your room. Why don’t you calm down, and I’ll take you there?”

He looked over his shoulder to see Altair and Ezio waiting on the other two platforms.

“Can I meet you at the gates?”

She nodded, and he smiled warmly, kissing her once more. Without a second glance, he darted to the end of his platform and jumped, catching out of the corner of his eye Altair and Ezio falling with him.

He’d never felt so good.------------------------------------------------I have some smaller scenes, too, I'll post in just a few. XD If you want them.
